We have developed a novel fiber sensor array telemetry that uses multiple all-fiber, all-optical switches for time domain multiplexing. Incorporating optical switches improves the telemetry by connecting only one sensor at a time to the buses and thu

We report on optimizing the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of large-scale fiber sensor arrays employing erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) telemetry with respect to the number of sensors per rung, the number of amplifiers per array, and the coupling ra

For part I see, ibid., p. 218, 1998. We discuss how to minimize the pump power required for large-scale fiber sensor arrays employing erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) telemetry with respect to the number of amplifiers per bus, number of sensors pe

The effects of erbium anisotropy in erbium-doped fiber lasers, sources, and amplifiers are examined. Starting from basic ion properties, inversion and gain equations are derived analytically to describe polarization dependencies. A novel matrix form

We report a new theoretical interpretation of the strong resonantly-enhanced third-order nonlinearity observed in fibers doped with Nd/sup 3+/, Er/sup 3+/, or Yb/sup 3+/. For each fiber, the absolute contributions of the near resonance (IR-visible) a

We demonstrate an erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) source for the fiber gyroscope with an overall mean wavelength stability of four parts per million. This source, which amplifies the gyroscope signal before detection, is shown to be more stable t

We examine the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) performance of a novel type of time domain multiplexed sensor arrays in which low gain (1-10 dB) fiber amplifiers are incorporated to compensate for splitting losses between sensors. The system noise figure

This paper reviews the state of research in resonantly enhanced nonlinearities in fibers doped with an absorber, of interest for low-power all-optical switching. A mathematical model is first presented which shows that this type of nonlinearity can b

This study shows theoretical and experimental results on three main effects determining the frequency stability of a Brillouin fiber ring laser, namely: the temperature effects and the nonlinear Kerr and frequency pulling effects. The oscillation fre

A mathematical model of the strong, resonantly enhanced nonlinear phase shift recently reported in Er-doped fibers which relates the phase shift and signal loss to the fiber parameters and the pump and signal wavelengths, is presented. Predictions ar
